The infamous “Fake Steve Jobs” posted a “Jesus Cake” baked by Sugarcat Cakes on his blog in 2007, around the same time Apple released the original iPhone. Awesome at the time, the iCake didn’t come with 3G either, which makes it as obsolete today as it is stale.
In cake, nobody can hear you scream
Nothing ruins a wedding reception faster than a couple of chest-bursters making their appearance during the newly married couple’s first dance.
As bride and groom cake toppers on your "Alien"-themed cake however, they’re just adorable! Just look at their little silver sugar-bead teeth!
The "H.R. Giger" cake, named for the surrealist painter and Academy Award winning designer for "Alien," is the creative masterpiece of Jet City Cakes in Seattle.

This Kindle cake eliminates two things that make Amazon's Kindle e-reader so awesome: A slim profile and the ability to throw it in your bag and take it to the beach. (Plus, what flavor is the e-ink?)
“There were some other gadgets contending for my Sunday cake project like the MacBook Air, my beloved iPod Nano, and my newest 'wish list' entry, the Chumby,” writes baker/Geek Sugar blogger Krystrk (who includes an instructive slide show in her post). “But for the portability, Internet access and features, the Kindle won by a landslide.
Rebuild the Universe – then eat it!

They’re coming to eat you, Barbara
Hoping to have the coolest Sci Fi/Fantasy wedding cake of all time? Well, give up. Someone beat you to it.
Geeks love zombies. After all, these are creatures of science gone awry, a virus or space rays, what have you, requiring society’s underdogs to rise up and destroy and then, apparently, get married.
The infamous zombie cake, originally found on Flickr, is credited to Mike's Amazing Cakes in Seattle (What is it about Seattle and awesome cakes?)
According to the couple, “They made the Bride and Groom on top look like us down to the tux and dress, and the zombies matched our wedding party too!” And the cake? Red velvet, of course.
Here’s another cake

Bo Shudda!
This Star Wars-themed birthday cake isn’t just any Jabba the Hutt. This is, like, puppy Jabba with those over-sized eyes and button nose that evolution forces us to care about. Dang it. He’s evil, cute AND tasty. Not even Jedi mind tricks are defense enough for that.
This magnificent cake was served to the Jabba obsessive behind the blog, Mighty Jabba’s Collection. “My four-year-old son likes Jabba's son Rotta and requested that the cake have Jabba and Rotta hugging, so that's what we did,” the Might Jabba collector writes.
Double dang it! That just makes him cuter!
(Jabba is made of chocolate cake, chocolate fudge and fondant.)
Overclocked cake
A motherboard cake made its debut on the Craftster forums, posted by one creative girlfriend for her computer geek boyfriend’s birthday: www.geeky-gadgets.com/geeky-cakes
“I wandered the candy aisles of the grocery store and CVS picking up different items to use,” she writes. “I got some wafer cookies for the RAM slots, an After 5 mint for the Intel chip. Rolos turned out to be especially useful.”
In the end, her patent was accepted. “I think I succeeded because when my BF saw the cake, he knew immediately what it was — he even identified what type of motherboard it was modeled after.”
The truth is out there ... and it's frosted
It’s hard not feel sorry for the eviscerated grey man. He came in peace. They cut him to pieces. Sniff.

And boy is it ever.
I, for one, welcome our new robot cake overlords!
Don’t hate — appreciate!
Any graduate of the Culinary Institute of America can take about 8 yards of fondant and pound it into a slick masterpiece of artificial intelligence. It takes real love to make this ultra-adorable robot — so cute, you’ll never see Skynet coming.
The engineer behind this mechanical man offers not only a tutorial for the cake, but a whole robo-themed birthday party!
